Kazem Jalali said the Islamic Republic of Iran "has always welcomed any constructive and sincere efforts to establish stability and security in the region"
MOSCOW, April 1. /TASS/. Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali has outlined Iran’s demands to the United States and Israel in order to achieve lasting peace in an interview with TASS.
The list contains four points. "1. A definitive and complete cessation of aggression and terrorist attacks; 2. The provision of objective and credible guarantees to prevent any resumption of aggression or war; 3. Full compensation for material and moral damages; 4. Respect for Iran’s legal jurisdiction in the Strait of Hormuz for the purpose of ensuring international maritime security," the diplomat said.
"While we highly appreciate the role and efforts of mediators, we believe that peace depends solely on the fulfillment of these commitments," Jalali emphasized.
He said the Islamic Republic of Iran "has always welcomed any constructive and sincere efforts to establish stability and security in the region." "However, it should be emphasized that any initiative or proposed plan to achieve a just peace and a lasting ceasefire requires considering the realities on the ground and fulfilling these legal and political conditions and requirements," the head of the diplomatic mission noted.
Jalali stated that "Iran will continue to exercise its inalienable right to self-defense until the source of the threat is completely eliminated."
"As for consultations with partners, Tehran always includes the exchange of views and coordination with its strategic allies, including Russia, in its diplomatic agenda," he added.
